PUTNAM --- Putnam Bank Chairman and CEO, Thomas A. Borner, and his wife, Kathy, recently participated in a Habitat for Humanity build at Park Preserve in Nashville, Tenn.
The build, on March 10, was sponsored by the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) as part of their annual convention held this year in Nashville.
Borner said he and his wife were proud to join the volunteer effort to leave a tangible and permanent gift to the Nashville community. When completed in 2020, the Park Preserve development will be home to potentially 380 single-family homes for families who are currently living in sub-standard housing.
The Borners, who are active supporters of Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Connecticut, are very familiar with the Habitat tradition of giving a hand up, not a hand out, to a deserving working family. Habitat’s current build in Brooklyn, is nearing completion and the dedication is being planned for later this spring.
Over the years Putnam Bank has provided both monetary support and a leadership role in Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Connecticut by the extraordinary efforts of its staff in serving in a number of volunteer positions within the organization. For further information on Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Connecticut, or to learn how to become a volunteer, call the Habitat office at 860-928-7293, or visit their web site at www.habitatnortheastct.org.
Putnam Bank, celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, is a $487.2 million federally chartered and insured stock bank.
